About this Location

Facility Overview

Premium Parking - P2427 is a conveniently situated parking facility located at 670 Rhode Island Ave NE in the vibrant Brentwood and Edgewood neighborhoods of Northeast Washington, DC. The facility features an organized, well-marked layout designed for seamless self-parking. Because it offers broad outdoor surface-level parking, vehicles do not face restrictive ceiling heights, making it exceptionally well-suited for a wide range of vehicle sizes. Drivers of compact sedans, mid-size crossovers, full-size SUVs, crew-cab pickup trucks, and high-roof work or passenger vans can maneuver and park without clearance anxiety.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned directly along one of the District\'s most essential arterial corridors, this facility places drivers within easy reach of commercial hubs, academic institutions, and cultural amenities:

Rhode Island Row & Rhode Island Place: Steps away from popular neighborhood dining, shopping, and everyday essentials, including casual eateries and retail stores.
Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT): Directly adjacent to the popular multi-use paved trail connecting Silver Spring to Union Station, ideal for multi-modal commuters pairing driving with biking or walking.
Catholic University of America (CUA) & Basilica of the National Shrine: Located approximately one mile north (a 5-minute drive or one Metro stop away), making it a convenient off-campus parking alternative.
Brookland Arts Walk & Monroe Street Market: Just under a mile away, offering local artisan studios, craft breweries, and trendy dining.
NoMa & Union Market District: Less than a 7-minute drive south, providing access to premier food halls, trendy rooftop bars, and boutique retail.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility provides straightforward ingress and egress along Rhode Island Avenue NE (U.S. Route 1), offering direct eastbound connectivity to Prince George\'s County, Maryland, and westbound flow toward Downtown DC, Logan Circle, and Dupont Circle. Exiting during morning and evening rush hours is relatively stress-free compared to core downtown garages. For public transit riders, the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro Station (serving the Red Line) is located just across the street, offering rapid subway transit into downtown Washington, Union Station, Metro Center, and Bethesda. Numerous WMATA Metrobus routes (including the G8, G9, and P6) also run directly along the corridor.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth visit, pay for parking immediately upon arrival using the designated QR code signs or the mobile parking app to avoid parking violation notices. Have your vehicle license plate number ready, as the lot operates primarily through plate-based digital enforcement rather than dashboard paper permits. If you plan to connect with Metrorail, factor in a brief 3- to 4-minute walk to reach the station platform.
